Driving light location?

I have a set of really nice Packard (Unity) driving lights that I purchased online as NOS. They are flawless and I wanted to mount them on my car. Problem is, I have poured through scads of photos of pre-war cars and almost all of them have the driving lights either lined up with the headlights or slightly narrower in width between. My car has the bumper-bars, 2 high, and the only location the lights seem to reasonably 'place', is just to the outside of the bars, which makes them wider than the headlights. (otherwise they're behind the bars) Is there any convention here? I stand back and look at the 'beak' of the car and they look okay there, but I would not use them before installing them in a fashion that would defy convention and look 'dorky'. Any thoughts??? Or is this one of those 'in the eye of the beholder' things?? Chris
